I had heard about the cooking classes from a local Charlotte newsletter a while back and had this…read moreon my list for a while. My brother and I absolutely love to cook and we were looking forward to learning more about Indian cuisine. Santhoshi was so very kind and a wonderful teacher throughout the lesson. I really enjoyed the details she included about Indian culture and the history behind the recipes. Whether you're super handy in the kitchen or have never cooked before, the class will adjust to your needs. We received a copy of the recipes after so we could make again at home. I enjoyed being able to bring a bottle of wine if you want a drink during the cooking class. Everything was very clean and sanitary throughout the visit. Overall I had a wonderful time and I highly encourage everyone to take a class and have fun!

Hands down, one of the best group experiences we've ever had…read more Santhoshi went above and beyond to create something truly special for our team. I had a nontraditional vision -- different groups cooking a variety of dishes and coming together for a shared meal -- and even though this wasn't her usual format, she made it happen with so much grace, organization, and joy. We cooked everything from roti and butter chicken to samosas, kebabs, pad thai, and more -- all while learning not just about technique, but also about Indian culture and Santhoshi's personal story. She is warm, patient, incredibly organized, and just a phenomenal teacher. She also added thoughtful touches like candles, music, aprons, and a photo booth setup -- and accommodated a last-minute change without missing a beat. Our team left feeling connected, inspired, and completely full (in every way!). Highly recommend this for teams, friend groups, or anyone looking for something a little different and a lot meaningful. I'm already planning to return for a traditional class on my own.

When we arrived the location was immaculate having a spacious sun room area for us to sit and dine after finishing with the preparations. Our group of 10 was handled with extra care allowing each person to mix, measure, and pour ingredients then crafting our dough into perfect shaped noodles. The arrangements were clean and well stocked and amazingly delicious. It was a true hands on fun experience; I would try again and high recommend those foodies that love to get their hands dirty while learning from two wonderful experts about the history of Ramen. You must try the egg that was marinated for 24 hours that in itself was a treat, and defiantly try the spicy sauce. When you leave you will be full with a smile thinking I am glad a tried this.

I wish I could be the next 5 star review, but unfortunately, we did not enjoy the cake we received…read more My husband and I were celebrating our 10th anniversary, and I was wanting to get our wedding cake flavor replicated. After searching around, I decided to go with Frosted By Jess. I asked for a small chocolate cake with a strawberry chocolate mousse filling, cream cheese icing on the outside, with a chocolate drizzle, and chocolate covered strawberries. Jess was quick to respond and said she could handle. I picked up on the time as promised, and that evening, we cut into the cake. I was surprised to see all icing as a filling. The cream cheese icing had a very butter forward flavor, so much I couldn't tell it was cream cheese. My husband couldn't tell either, he said it was missing the tang that you normally get with a cream cheese icing. I did reach out to Jess with my disappointment. She did apologize, claims the mousse was there, but also mentioned mousse fillings were not something she was used to. I wish that had been communicated with me so that I could have been informed in order to make a decision on a baker I felt was appropriate that could actually handle the job. Instead, we ended up with a cake that I do not feel like I got what I asked or paid for. It ended up being a very expensive small slice of cake because it was one slice and done.
